gardening is good for your soul.

today is the day that we are planting our garden. i'm well beyond stoked and will note that i wouldnt be getting to do this if i worked full time. another positive about being fired! YAY! :) anyway, i've already got a strawberry bed, which i cannot wait until it starts giving strawberries. i'm also going to be planting spinach, yellow tomatoes, cherry red tomatoes, onions, basil, and at the moment i cant remember what else. i'll be surprised if everything fits in my little garden, and even though its going to be work, i'm looking forward to it!

i hung clothes out on the line yesterday. i'm one of those people that look forward to the smell of my clothes after they've hung out on the line and love the feel of the crunchy towels when i get out of the shower. dave hasnt seemed to mind as of yet & i hope it stays that way the rest of the summer. i met the neighbor when i was taking them off of the line. he said his wife grew up in the country and was a wee bit jealous of my clothesline. i told him to put one in for her! :)

speaking of neighbors... we were outside last night, picking up the toys that were scattered all around the yard when the neighbor boy came outside. addison took off running towards him yelling "ADDY, ADDY, ADDY!" it was really cute, she was telling him her name, then standing at the fence, just wanting to play. someday! it was too late to play and time for her bath, so i finally talked her inside by asking her if she wanted to take a bath... and she walked inside and ran right to the bathtub. she never ceases to amaze me every day! yesterday was another monumental moment when i asked her if she wanted to take a nap and she ran to her bedroom and shook the crib! i put her in, she laid down and i swear she was asleep before i could even close the door. another amazement! :)

saturday i'm having a lia sophia jewelry party. i've never had a party like this before, you know, tupperware, pampered chef, etc... so i'm a little nervous about it. mostly nervous that people wont come, or that a ton of people will come and i wont have enough food! i will say i'd rather have people come & run out of food than the other. so we shall see!
